A vcry important property of very young and massive stars (BN objects) is their iiitcnsive mass loss. We describe the main mcthods to derive tlie mass loss rates. Available observations arc used to characterize thc ionizcd stellar winds and the CO flows. The rcsults arc confronted with theories describing the anisotropic inass loss.
